It really depends on what do you want to store and how. Nobody will give you a final answer without knowing a good deal of detail. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_relational_database_management_systems[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems[^].

You need to use ADO.NET which provides reasonable good abstraction from particular database management systems. This short and informative CodeProject article will help you to get started pretty quickly: Using ADO.NET for beginners[^].

Solution 2

First you have to analyze your requirement and then select the database.

Solution 3

SQL Server Compact Edition[^] :jig:

But please try to stay database agnostic so you don't limit yourself down the road.
And don't put data access code in your UI code.
And, most of all, use parameterized queries.
